Yep! That made the difference. So debug needs to be enabled to expose the words to patch. Let me hunt for the proper offset: If I understand correctly, I'm looking to patch the statement just after the (endcase). findandadd-block starts at ff93b210 and the statement after is ff93b5bc. That's...

Just wanted to report upgrading my Docker container from 2.x to 4.0.1 worked great. So far my machines of all vintage are connecting correctly.

Dumb question, but have you tried just using it? With an ST-NIC on board (probably a DP8930) it might be compatible with the built-in drivers. A surprising number of cards used the same hardware configuration (probably the reference design) so they are driver compatible. Alternatively the Mac...

Yeah, that's when I realized it couldn't find the words. Yeah, I see where you're going with that and I had started to wonder the same thing myself...will test tomorrow if I have a chance. If that at least applies the patch, I can tinker with the offset!

I futzed around for awhile and realized I wasn't understanding the Forth errors. It seems like the findandadd-block words aren't defined in this ROM and/or package? 0 > dev /packages/bootpath-search ok 0 > : mypatch { ; loc0 loc1 loc2 loc3 loc4 } loc4 6 = if loc0 findandadd-block-usb then ...

Interesting. Just to confirm, this is specifically what's in my nvramrc: \ Enable OS 9 boot selection (MacRISC, MacRISC2) " /" select-dev " PowerMac10,1" encode-string " MacRISC" encode-string encode+ " MacRISC2" encode-string encode+ " MacRISC3" encode-string encode+ " Power Macintosh"...

A water slide decal might work...swear I've seen someone else here give those a try.

4.8.9f4 - 03/23/05 I'll give those a try, thanks for the details!

I wish I could make heads or tails of Forth yet...but... Trying this out for a mini, PowerMac10,1. Doesn't crash but doesn't seem to probe USB at all with the G5 patch. How did you discover the patch values, basically detoking the firmware? I imagine the procedure is to dump the firmware...

Looks like a 68HC000 on board, interesting. I wonder if they needed to cut power consumption for all that extra draw!

Huh....so 4.2.8f1, 4.5.7f1, and 4.6.0f1 do scan for USB at boot and present it in the picker? I swear I just read another thread where people were saying they saw USB in the picker on pre Mac mini, but maybe I'm imagining things.

Interesting. Wonder if they all are or the one pictured just happens to be. Definitely flash on that one.

I too was tempted by that listing! All that plastic broke off in shipping? As the owner of an O2, I can attest to how horrifically brittle they are now. I have to lift it a specific way to support the bottom after the back partially cracked off under its own weight. If I dropped it I'm sure the...

I still need to update this with QFP data, but the masks should be correct here and match PGA as well as QFP: https://eharmon.net/retro/macintosh/motorola-processors/ That's all sourced from Motorola catalogs and process change notifications. I sadly haven't found a great source for dates, but...

I'll give that a shot, thanks!

I find I keep running into this problem...when installing network peripherals on 8.1 somehow OpenTransport gets damaged and stops working. Applications report various errors, like "cannot open resolver", claiming too many network connections are open, or just outright failing. AppleTalk works...

So, it's been benchmarked here before that the AsanteFAST 10/100 Ethernet card...just isn't too fast. Unsurprisingly older OT just can't push very quick anyway, and so the returns are really diminished...

I've read that there's a belief that the market demands (and maybe this is true in China) new-looking chips, and the salvagers don't really know what the markings mean so they just pick something to paint on it and call it a day. Even when that lowers the ratings...

It'd be nice if we could do group buys on other harder to find CPUs with Eric. We're a lucrative market!
